Week 1

Here's what we viewed in class:

Maya Deren - Meshes of the afternoon (1943)

Maya Deren - Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946)

"[Meshes of the Afternoon] reproduces the way in which the sub-conscious of an individual will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simply and causal incident into a critical emotional experience" -maya derek

The Lead Shoes (Sidney Peterson, 1949)

"It was part of the special confusion of the time to combine belief with dis-belief, treat half-beliefs as ready-mades. which had only to be conceived of as objects (like the lead shoes themselves) to be found. If this was reification (treating abstractions as "real" things), it went with alienation–the two being generally regarded as twin diseases of the then generation, involving among other things, a loss of the soul." -Sidney Peterson
